Elements and Compounds Mod.H U.1 L.4
Pure substances • Have only one type of particle • Same composition throughout
2 groups: • Elements • Compounds
Elements • Cannot be separated by physical or chemical means • 92 elements (naturally occurring) • Classified by properties
Unique Characteristic Properties of Elements • Melting point, Boiling point • Density, • Conductivity (heat and electricity) • Reactivity, etc
Look @ Fig.3 p83Can you tell the 3 elements apart using… • 1. density?
What about … • 2. Conductivity? • 3. Reactivity? • 4. Melting Point?
A Substance is identified by • A set of properties • not any one single property
Three groups of elements have shared properties: • Metals (most elements) • Nonmetals • Metalloids
Metals … • Shiny • Good conductors • Malleable • Ductile • Have high melting & boiling points
Examples of metals • Found on the left side of the Periodic Table • Most are solids except for Hg
Nonmetals • Dull • Poor conductors • Brittle, unmalleable, not ductile • Lower Melting and Boiling points, Densities.
Metalloids • Only 7 of them • Show properties of both metals and nonmetals: • some shiny, some dull; • somewhat malleable, ductile, etc. • Semi-conductors
The Metalloids • Boron • Germanium • Silicon • Arsenic • Antimony • Tellerium • Polonium
QuizIdentify group(s) of elements that have following properties:metals, nonmetals or metalloids • Good conductors of electricity • Brittle and unmalleable • Shiny • Poor conductors of thermal energy or insulators
Review • What is a pure substance? • You found a piece of solid that was shiny, had a high melting point of about 1,000 ’C and flattened when you hit it with a hammer. Could this substance be a nonmetal or a metal? How can you tell?
Assignment: • Use a Periodic Table pR12-13 to fill in this table in your notebook: Fill in the first 20 elements then add the ff 16 more …
Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, Zinc, Silver, Tin, Gold, Lead, Mercury, Iodine, Bromine, Lanthanum, Actinium, Titanium & Uranuim
Mini-project • Create Flashcards of each element • Get a ring or Ziploc bag or Make a booklet • http://periodictable.com/ Element Chemical symbol Atomic Number State at R.T. Metal/Nonmetal/Metalloid?
The Updated Periodic Table - 2018 Visit • http://periodictable.com/ and • https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/documents/2018/08/29/nist_periodictable_july2018_crop.pdf
Section 4-2Compounds The 2nd type of pure substance
Two or more elements chemically combined • Atoms combine in specific ratios • They CAN be broken down by chemical means • (Water into hydrogen and oxygen)
Compounds to know • (out of nearly 4 million kinds) • Table salt, water, carbon dioxide, glucose, baking soda (FORMULAS?) NaCl H2O CO2 C6H12O6 NaHCO3
A Chemical Formula • Symbols used to identify elements present • Tells ratio of element atoms present • Is constant for a particular compound
Chemical Formulas: • H2O H2O2 2 : 1 2 : 2 • CO2 H2SO4 1 : 2 2 : 1 : 4
Mass Ratio is constant • Hydrogen + Oxygen Water 2g : 16g 18g 1g : 8g Ratio: 1:8
Mg + O MgO 12g : 8g Ratio- 3:2 • CAN be broken down by chemical means e.g.(Water into hydrogen and oxygen)
Properties: • Each compound has its own unique set • Physical Properties … • Chemical properties … • Different from the elements that formed it e.g. O, H : colorless, odorless gases H2O : liquid. Na -metal, Cl -green gas, poisonous Sodium chloride- salt, colorless, essential for health.
EXAMPLES OF Methods of Chemical break-down • HEAT • COMBUSTION – BURNING • ELECTROLYSIS
Law of Conservation of Matter • Matter is neither created nor destroyed; It only changes from one form to another
Compds are classified by: • Their pH – How acidic or basic they are • If Organic (Carbon-containing) or Inorganic • The role they play - Proteins – enzymes, structural - Carbohydrates - Lipids – fats & oils - Nucleic acids
